I took a class about finances in higher ed last semester. Since state schools often have limits on the amount they can charge for tuition, fees are often charged to help provide for things like technology or student programs (pretty much anything not directly related to regular classes). Many universities have student center fees that are controlled by a student/staff council to pay for needs in the center each year. I am not sure what the rules are re: paying staff--but I think I have read where student fees were used to pay for staff before. That said, its possible the fees could be used to support programs and the university would then pay for the staff from other funds.
